Based on the results of field tests, the ability of Phanerochaete sordida to degrade PAH constituents of creosote appears to be severely limited. The exact reasons for this are unknown. Its ability to degrade PCPs to regulatory levels has also not yet been demonstrated. 

From a physical standpoint, the effectiveness of Phanerochaete sordida is influenced by soil temperature, moisture level, and nutrient and substrate levels. 

Estrone is a potent natural estrogen found in effluents of sewage treatment plants. Partially purified manganese peroxidase from Phanerochaete sordida was able to completely transform 10 pM estrone in 2 h. This transformation was accompanied by the complete removal of estrogenic activity [108], Tsutsumi et al. [109] used manganese peroxidase from the same fungus, and also demonstrated the...

Where the coal tar creosote is in well-oxygenated conditions, lignin degrading fungi like the white rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida can remove much of the PAH fraction (Davis et al. 1993). This fungus can also biodegrade PCP, which has often become mixed with the wastes found at creosote production or disposal sites.
